The Man Who Laughs.
From the Youth S Companion.

s'I remember" said an old physician of
Baltimore, lately, 'that traveled4in 1888
in stage coach across the Allegheny
Mountains frona Cumberland to tho Ohio
river. In the coach were two friends,
young men and lawyers, who were going
out to settle in western Pennsylvania.
"We became we'll acquainted in the
long, leisurely journey. Both of my
fellow travellers we're men of ability and
cultcre; both had good breeding and
kindly dispositions. But their temper
ments were widely different.
sc. never joked and rarely smiled. If
a laughable story was told, he listened
silently, thought over it an hour, and
then began to argue against its probab-
| ility. If the morning was cloudy, he was
sure of storm before night; if the
harness broke, he was positive we would
be detained all dao: If the coachma an
drove fast, he knew the man was drunk
and that our necks would be broken.
'M., on the contrary, was merry, light
hearted fellow, full of anecdote and a
xuick repartee. The weather was always
delightful for him, the meals delicious
his com panions the finest in the world
He saw every point in the landscape
every fine outline in the trees, or tipt in
the field. He was like bee gathering q
droo of honey here, another there. His
comrade never knew there was honey to
gather. When they left us, I said

by the State. A pool had been formed
by a party of long -headed lumbermen to
buy the land for a song. One of them

all of the offers being ridiculously low.

Smith lounged in and bid slightly above

them that he had the best of the joke.
From an inside pocket of his old coat he

A MementO Of Macmillan.

A member of the American colony is
In possession of three historical curiosi
ties which will undoubtedly be eagerly
sought after by all who take an interest
IN the collection of articles of this kind.
The curiosities are the certificate of
Maximilian's birth, the marriage certi-
fcate of Macmillan and Carlotta, and
the order of the Golden Fleece, which the
possessor claims he can prove also be-
longed to the unfortunate emperor. The
birth certificate is written on parchment
yellow it'll age. It is couched in German,
and certifes that Macmillan was born in
Vienna in the year 1882, son to the
archduke Francis Charles. The marriage
certificate is dated at Brunswick in the
year 1857. II is written in French, on
sheep-skin, and bears the seals of the
Belgian and Austrian court. The order
of the Golden Fleece is composed of a
gold crown, with golded sheep pendant
by three gold chains, and ring which is
fastened into belt studded with dia-
monds, which passes around the sleeps
belly. Altogether the three relics make a
very interesting collection, associated as
they are with one of the most important
epochs in the history of Mexico.

RUNNING THE BLOCKADE.
How Scotch Sailor Carried Offa Cargo of Cot
ton Under Difficulties.

How Scotch Sailor Carried Offa Cargo of Cot
ton Under Difficulties.
The following story is told by Cham
ber's Journal of how Capt. Wilson, who
ran the blockade seventeen times during
the war, saved valuable cargo from a
federal blockading vessel.
He was in command of large block
ade runner which had safely entered one
of the southern ports. He attempted to
escape during a fog in the evening; the
fog suddenly lifted and he found he had
nothing but a fast pair of heels to rely
upon, for federal cruiser was within
range of him. The federal fired across
his bows, but the captain took no notice
beyond putting little extra weight on
the safety valve. His decks were piled
high with cotton, which formed an ex
cellent protection against small arm fire.
The federal now opened the ball in good
earnest, and shell after shell churned the
water into foam around, but not one
struck her. just as she was getting out
of range, however, a shell penetrated the
side and lodged in the boiler, and the YES
eel was helpless. She had considerable
way on Der, so, though striking, she was
headed for shore.
The federal ceased firing, and watched
the disabled vessel until at last she was
beached half full of water. Capt. Wilson
and his crew fled to shore, and saw the
federal send eff a boat to inspect their
capture. Satisfied that the vessel was
completely disabled the federal steamed
off to her station in the assured hope that
she had settled Capt. Wilson this time.
The misfortune, however, did not daunt
him. He made his way to neighboring
plantation, obtained the assistance of a
number of the hands, and as the captor
was out of sight and the tide had receded,
unloaded the bulk of the cotton. With
the assistance of blacksmith be repaired
the hull by riveting iron plates inside and
outside the shot hole filling the inter
space with tar and cotton. The water in
the boiler had put out the fuse of the
shell; SO extracting his iron visitor, he
riveted new plates over the hole and made,
with the assistance of the engineer, a
strong if not very presentable repair.
The cotton was reshipped, and in the
early gray of the morning as the federal
captain appeared in the citing to take pos
session Of his prize he beheld her steam
ing away to England as if nothing had
hapE eRed, while a contenptuous salute
from Capt. Wilson's single gun gave him
forcible idea of the resources of a
''canny Scot" in corner.

PEOPLE AND EVENTS

The strikers at the Pennsylvania salt
works at Natrona, Pa, were served with
writs, Tuesday, ordering them to vacate
the company's houses on or before the
first Monday in July. The alternative is
eviction.
The decrease of wheat in store at Min
aggregated $4,000 bushels. The ship
ments from Minneapolis were the largest
on record. It is thought the receipts
will be very small from this time until
after harvest.
Documents are displayed in the Morse
department of the American exhibition
in London to prove that America was
discovered in 9S5 by an Icelander named
Lief Erikson thus antedating Columbus
500 years.
The new silver vaults in the treasury
building at Washington will not be COM
pleted for several months. Meantime
the department officials find themselves
embarrassed by lack of facilities for
the storage of the constantly increasing
accumulation of buzzard dollars.
Six wagonloads of gambling para
phernalia, coniscated by the police, were
publicly burned at Atlanta, Ga. The
value of the stuff is placed at $4,000, and
the gamblers threaten to sue the city for
damages.
| The porte has been formally advised
/ of Queen Victoria's signature to the
Anglo Turkish convention regarding
Egypt.
Tennessee will vote on a prohibition
amendment to the state constitution in
| September. The campaign he's already
opened, and promises to be closely con-
| tested.
The jury in the Sharp Doodle case at
New York was finally completed Wednes-
day, the twenty-second day of the trial.
The whole number of talesmen examined
was 1,196. The accused will be guarded
| by sheriff's posse at his own residence
during the proceedings.
A very rigid Sunday -observance law
was passed by the Missouri legislature,
and the police of st. Louis are preparing
| for its strict enforcement. 1t prohibits
the opening of saloons, billiard-rooms,
theaters, bowling alleys, beer gar dens,
and baseball grounds On Sunday. The
saloons have combined to fight the law,
and will make test case to determine its
constitutionality.

But am alone.
1 call you my darling, my darling,
My dice echoes back to my heart:

And 10 they fall empty apart
/ whisper the sweet words you taught me,
The words that we only have known,
Till the blank of the dumb air is bitter,
For am alone.
